     After Jennie went home, I sat on my bed thinking about Kate. I know she didn't just get lost. She has a great sense of direction. I'm the one that gets lost. 

     I know they captured her. They must have. I don't know how, she's a great runner. Could there have been someone else? Or could the ones chasing me and Jen disapeared to help get Kate? What were they doing to her? Hurting her? Torturing her? Raping her? Could they have killed her? I pushed those thoughts out of my mind. So many questions, so little answers. Wrong. No answers. The only thing I know is why they took her-- maybe. I should call the officer. But they wouldn't let us try to find it, they would try to. But they wouldn't find it. We can. Jennie and I. We know kate, and how she works. We have to find it, not the officers.

                                                                              *     *     *

     The next morning, I woke up to my iPhone blaring Kelly Clarkson in my ear.  

CUZ WE BELONG TOGETHER NOW, YEAH                                                                                                    

FOREVER UNITED HERE SOMEHOW, YEAH                                                                                              

YOU GOT A PEICE OF ME, AND HONESTLY,                                                                                              

 MY LIFE, WOULD SUCK, WITHOUT YOU                                                                                           

     I automatically think of Kate. My life would suck without you, Kate. Jennie's would too. And your parents, other family, other friends, Nick. He loves you so much Kate, you can't die. I silently will those idiot men not to kill her.

     When I finally pulled myself out of bed, (It's 5:30. No one should have to get up at 5:30, not even for school.) I pull on white jean shorts, a flowy, sparkly top, and Tommy Hilfiger sandals. So cute! But I can't even think about what Kate could be wearing right now... the word nothing pops into my mind. Yuck. I feel bad, no, absolutely terribly horrible for her right now. 

     After I got dressed, I went downstairs where my mom was making coffee. She also has to be up early. Meanwhile, my dad is snoring in bed right now. Urg. Jealousy kicks in. I slurp down a bowl of cereal, and cram everything I need for school in my backpack. 

     "Mom, I'm going over to--' I pause. I can't tell her Jennie and I are going to try to find the box at Kate's house. She would freak and call the officers. "Jennie and I are going to go to Emma's house." Emma is another one of our friends. But Jen, Kate, and I have a special bond. We are best friends. "We're going to study for the big science test coming up."

     "Ok hon, have fun. Be back by 9 though, okay? It's only Monday. And you're going to be even more stressed."

     "Ok mom, I love you." I always make sure to say I love you to her, just in case something were to happen to her, and I couldn't say bye. 

     At school, Jennie was off her game. I could tell she was really shaken up by what happened to Kate. We got lots of questions from people asking where Kate was. We didn't tell anyone but Nick, her boyfriend, what had really happened. She wouldn't have wanted us to. 

     Right after lunch, in English, Ms. Leon, the counselor came in the room. No...I thought. We dont need to be talked to! Ms. Leon walked over to Mr Finch, our teacher, and whispered something behind a folder. I hate when teachers do that. Just like I thought, Mr. Finch motioned for Jennie and I to go with Ms. Leon. We both got up and took our stuff, and followed Ms. Leon out the door, to, I would guess, her office. 

     "Hi girls, how are you doing today?" She said to us.

     "Umm... Okay..." Jennie and I said in sync.

     "You can probably guess," She started in her real, breathy voice. "All the staff has heard about what happened to Kate Smith. You two are her good friends, right?"

     We all walked into Ms. Leon's office. "Yes." Jennie and I said together.

     "Well girls, I heard about this and I couldn't even imagine how traumatizing this must be for the two of you. Being chased by absolute strangers, and then your best friend go missing. Is there anything you two want to talk about with me? You know it will all be kept secret."

     "No." We said together again.

     "Ok girls. I'm not going to try to push it out of you. If you want to talk, you can ask to come out of class anytime, I will be right here. All right?"

     "Ok" We said. We were excused from her office and went back to english. No one seemed to care where we went or why. Good.

     When school was finally let out, Jennie and I rushed over to Kate's house. Mrs. Smith let us in, we said we were going to go look for something we had lost in her room.  Well, we were.

     Jennie and I both stopped when we saw her room.
